Hi! Quick update on my next video
🕑 Added 2022-04-07 10:23:50 +0000 UTCHey everyone, I can't believe it's already April! This year is going by way too fast. Anyway, I'd like to give you a peak at what my next video is going to be about :)
I decided to do another "games in 30 seconds" video, and if you missed my last few you can check out the first one here: https://youtu.be/UKulYloMwRE
But this time Mike and I thought it would be fun to focus on "BAD NES games!" I did better than I thought I would on this one so I hope you guys enjoy it when it's finished. I'm editing this as fast as I can, and I'm hoping to play more Kirby and the Forgotten Land on stream! That game is so fun and it's not totally killing my hands so . . . yay! Haha.
This carpal tunnel BS is really getting old, but I think I'm on the path to healing so I'm trying to stay positive. And that being said, thank you all for continuing to be patient with me through all of this and deciding to support me here on Patreon.
And speaking of carpal tunnel issues, I might FINALLY start incorporating more RPGs into my streams as I THINK they would be less straining on my hands/wrists. Do you have any recommendations for RPG's that are good for people like me who haven't played much of the genre AND that are short (or at least shortish!?) If so, please leave a comment! I've been thinking of trying Super Mario RPG for starters but we'll see. I'm trying to branch out, lol. I enjoyed what I played of Sailor Moon: Another Story and the Castlevania GBA games do have some RPG elements, so I'm kiiiiiind of getting a taste of it here and there.
Well I'm just rambling at this point so I'll stop. Hope you are doing well and I'll post again soon :)

As for RPG suggestions, yes Super Mario RPG is one you will likely enjoy. Chrono Trigger on SNES is another classic that I think is not overly long. On the more modern end of the spectrum, if you are a fan of South Park, I found "The Fractured But Whole" to be thoroughly enjoyable. I played that one from start to finish when it got ported to Nintendo Switch. The previous South Park game, "The Stick of Truth" is supposed to be very good as well from what I have heard. And, if you're looking for something that would be very easy on your hands, have you ever played any of the Tell Tale Games? They are story heavy with some point and click interaction, dialogue decision making, & occasional quick time events. Some people found them to get stale using the same Tell Tale engine over and over again across different IP licenses, but I found them different enough from one game to the next to be enjoyable each time. Also, the games are broken up into separate Chapters, which makes it easy to break up your play sessions, & gives it a TV show/comic book feel. I played "The Wolf Among Us", "Batman", "Batman: The Enemy Within", "Game of Thrones", and "Guardians of the Galaxy", & I enjoyed all of them.

So sorry to hear about the carpal tunnel. That must be really rough to deal with. I hope it's getting better. I've dealt with back pain for most of my life, & knee pain as well (football injury from my late twenties), so I very much empathize. Though I imagine hand and wrist pain must be more difficult to deal with. It's so great of you to power through it & provide content for your channel however you can. The Nintendo Power streams are great & very enjoyable. I was very happy to catch the most recent one live.

Cool, I'll probably start with Mario then when it comes to RPG's. And thanks!

Thanks for the update, I'm glad your carpal tunnel is finally starting to improve. I think you'd like Super Mario RPG, it's got a lot of humor that seems right up your alley.
